I’m sure nobody on FR needs reminding, but college is not supposed to be an intellectual safe space. It’s supposed to be intellectually challenging and unsafe, a place where preconceived notions and ill-thought-out biases go to be slaughtered.

Can you imagine asking for “safe space” in BCT at Ft. Benning, or RVN?

It's supposed to be intellectually challenging and unsafe,

I think that's the problem. School is supposed to teach the accumulated wisdom and knowledge of our culture.

The students can then leave school and use all they know to expand our knowledge and to grow wise from personal experience.
